La salope, c’est l’autre | blogue Originel. Monica Lewinsky en 1998. Photo: Reuters Vous vous souvenez de Monica Lewinsky? La stagiaire de 23 ans qui avait eu des relations sexuelles avec le président américain Bill Clinton en 1997 est probablement l’une des premières victimes du slut-shaming à grande échelle. Le Wall Street Journal l’avait traitée de petite putain, le New York Times, de prédatrice cinglée, et Fox News avait littéralement lancé un sondage pour déterminer si Monica Lewinsky était « une jeune fille comme les autres » ou si elle était une « jeune pute en manque de sensations fortes ». Au total, 54 % des gens avaient choisi la deuxième option. Récemment, Mme Lewinsky a accordé une entrevue au Vanity Fair dans laquelle elle raconte son humiliation, à une époque où l’expression slut-shaming – un concept qui décrit des comportements qui visent à dénigrer une femme en raison de la manière dont elle vit ou exprime sa sexualité – n’existait pas encore.
Sur les réseaux sociaux, on peut documenter ce type d’insultes. SlaneGirl : Slut-shamming et humiliation sur Internet d'une jeune fille de 17 ans. Une jeune fille de 17 ans a été hospitalisée suite à la publication massive sur Internet de photos la représentant donnant une fellation à un concert en plein air du rappeur Eminem. Sur l'une de ses photos, elle est à genoux, donnant une fellation à un homme les bras levés en l'air, en signe de "victoire". Sur l'autre, elle embrasse le même homme alors qu'il a sa main sous sa jupe. Dans une troisième photo, elle semble donner une fellation à un autre homme, non identifié. Les photos ont très vite fait le tour d'Internet, mettant la jeune fille en cible de mire pour tout types d'harcèlement et de cyber-violences. Le hashtag #slanegirl, utilisé pour la ridiculiser, s'est propagé sur le web.
Que ce soit sur twitter, Instagram, facebook et tumblr, ses photos se sont multipliées (ce qui est clairement illégal étant donné que la jeune fille n'a pas encore atteint sa majorité et constitue donc un acte criminel). Apparemment, les moeurs sexuelles ne s'appliquent pas pareil pour tous le monde. Things that look like feminism but aren’t. It might seem strange to point out, but not all things written by women are feminism. Nor are all things that are written by women in the name of feminism–at least if you define feminism as fighting for the right of women to have equal personhood and participation in society. Nowhere is this clearer than the excruciating parade of prominent opinion columns about the women around Anthony Weiner. Sydney Leathers may not be winning the prize for the world’s most prudent young woman any time soon, but she is definitely not the middle-aged guy asking the people of New York to vote from him after appearing to have learned nothing from his first go-round with scandal.
And Huma Abedin might not be acting in the way you believe you would if you were married to Weiner, but you are not Abedin, and her choices about whom to marry belong to her and not to you. Neither Abedin nor Leathers are advancing policy that harms women as a class. Below, an opinionated guide to what is and isn’t feminism. “Things that look like feminism but aren’t” | Amy Adele Hasinoff.
I’m so happy to see this wonderful commentary from Irin Carmon at MSNBC about the way columnists have responded to “Weiner’s women.” The whole article is spot-on, but I especially love how she takes down Susan Jacoby: Susan Jacoby, “Weiner’s Women,” for The New York Times:“People ask how Mr. Weiner’s wife, the soulfully beautiful and professionally accomplished Huma Abedin, can stay with him.
My question is why hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of women apparently derive gratification from exchanging sexual talk and pictures with strangers… Women who settle for digital pornography are lowering their expectations and hopes even more drastically than their male collaborators are.” Asking a question about why women do or want things and answering with why you do or want things, and calling it feminism.

[Les réactions violentes subies par une amie proche qui aurait eu une attitude « malsaine » et « dévergondée » à l’égard des hommes (c’est-à-dire une attitude séductrice et entreprenante tout à fait banale pour un homme, mais qui ne peut être que « malsaine » et « dévergondée » pour une femme…) m’ont inspiré cet article sur la question du « slut shaming ». Cet article ne prétend ni à l’exhaustivité ni à l’objectivité : j’ai simplement essayé de faire un compte-rendu critique de quelque chose que je ne vis pas, mais qui m’a beaucoup énervé de l’extérieur.] « Slut shaming » est une expression anglaise, formée à partir de « slut » (« salope ») et « shame » (« honte »).
Une traduction approximative pourrait être « stigmatisation des salopes ». Le terme de « salope » peut n’être pas employé de façon aussi directe. . « Salut ! On Ending Slut Shaming. Feminism | Posted by Lauren T on 05/24/2013 About a week ago, I was talking with one of my co-workers and she told me that students at her teenage daughter’s high school made a Facebook page dedicated to the school “sluts.” She proceeded to tell me that the page described the acts that the so-called “sluts” committed and even had pictures of the girls in question. I told my co-worker that that was called “slut shaming.” She did not know what I was talking about — that term was not in her vocabulary.
Slut shaming is not something many people know about because of the stereotype that this is normal teenage behavior. Slut shaming is a fairly new term, but the concept is ages old. I believe that Leora Tanenbaum described the act of slut shaming most accurately in her book, Slut! “Being known as the school slut is a terrifying experience. I also have a unique perspective because I was heavily involved with a Christian youth group called Young Life. So how do we end all this? Loading ... The UnSlut Project: A new Tumblr is the "It Gets Better" of slut-shaming. Photo by MJ Kim/Getty Images When Emily Lindin was 11 years old, her classmates decided that she was a slut.
For the next few years, she was “harassed incessantly at school, after school, and online,” she says. This was 1997, before Gchat conversations and Twitter streams kept a running digital transcript of pre-teen life. Instead, Emily kept a detailed diary of the events in a set of spiral notebooks. Fifteen years later, she’s exhumed her childhood entries, and is publishing them in chronological order on a Tumblr she calls the UnSlut Project. All names have been changed (including Emily’s, a pseudonym). The result is part middle school soap opera, part public service. In the wake of Steubenville, the internet has been pinned as a destructive force in youth culture—porn warps minds, Instagram enables sexual assaults, and Twitter amplifies sexual bullying.
After all, sexual shaming has always found a way. Our borders, ourselves: Thoughts on double standards and slut-shaming in the media. I am the Condom Girl -- the one flagged as a suspected sex worker at the U.S. border and subjected to a series of escalating bizarre treatments and attitudes. I had no idea when I wrote my personal account for rabble.ca that my story would result in radio interviews, headlining Metro, more re-tweets than I care to count, and, of course, hate mail.
It's been one of the craziest weeks of my life, and certainly the most public. There's no doubt in my mind that one reason my story gained the attention it did was that it screamed "sexy" at every juncture. Between adultery, lingerie, condoms, nude modelling, prostitution and a picture of me (young, white, female) which I now realize features my shirt practically falling off, there's no way the media could resist.
I wasn't featured nationally in Metro as "Uneducated girl is accused of sex work" but rather as "UBC student. " I've stopped answering the point-blank question of whether or not I am, was, or ever will be a sex worker. Sexism at the border: A personal account. What do you do when you're detained by powerful officials, everything you say is presumed deceptive, arbitrary "evidence" is held against you, and you're treated like a moral deviant? And what if its 2013, you're a woman, and the "evidence" is that you possess condoms? It happened three times in two weeks -- being detained by U.S. border officials on my way to or through the States.
First I was held by Vermont border guards for two hours in the middle of the night on my way to visit Nashville. They searched my bags at least five times. I could not help but notice how often my lingerie and “sexy underwear” were mentioned, how often the condoms they found were looked upon scathingly, and how most of the four male officers’ questions pertained to both. I was baffled as to why this was any of their business and unsure of what their objective was, other than fondling lady’s undergarments. The next time it happened was two weeks later in Montreal's airport. "N-nothing? " "She knows. " "What? " "... The New Scarlet Letter. Radio Rookies: Sexual Cyberbullying: The Modern Day Letter A. These days, many teenagers live half their lives on social media sites, and they're writing the rules as they go.
One online trend 16-year-old Radio Rookie Temitayo Fagbenle finds disturbing is something she calls "slut-shaming," or using photos and videos to turn a girl's private life inside out. There are countless websites, Facebook pages and Twitter handles that are created to shame girls online, many are literally called "exposing hos. " When Temitayo logs in to Facebook her newsfeed is often inundated with sexually explicit photos and videos of other teenage girls that are posted, commented on, and shared countless times by her peers. Once these images make it online the repercussions can haunt a girl far beyond the schoolyard.
"Once it gets to a social media network it’s over for her life," one of Temitayo's classmates said. But another student pointed out that a lot of girls don't even know they're being recorded. Schools have had to take on a new role in the age of social media. Internet-Famous Person Jenna Marbles Has Some Interesting Feelings About Sluts. I wrote on another threat about a guy I dated who did not think he was a misogynist even though he called women who slept with people other than boyfriends sluts, whores, disgusting, etc.
Tried to tell me he never said sleeping with someone without being in love with them was wrong or immoral (except degrading terms for women then dripped like liquid from his tongue) and that progressive women he was friends with never accused him of such so I must be wrong about him. This guy claimed a high IQ too, which he used as an anchor to validate any and all of his opinions as superior to anyone else's. This was a response to him not being able to comprehend how I could have let a guy "take advantage of me" (in his mind) by hooking up one night after being friends for a few months at a time I wasn't looking to date anyone but, hey, still had needs. I think the reason why guys are so offended by women who have casual sex stems from jealousy and insecurity.
Is this a younger version of my dad? Elizabethe C. Payne: 'Slut': Gender Policing As Bullying Ritual. We at QuERI often ask LGBTQ kids to list for us the "bad names" that they get called in school spaces, hear others called and see scrawled across bathroom walls and on lockers. Those derogatory terms are, by vast majority, terms that police gender: words like "fag," but also words that mark the sex and sexuality of girls through slut shaming. The variety of names for the high school "slut" is astonishing, and she is often painted as a larger-than-life character performing superhuman feats on the 50-yard line and sending nice girls to zealously guard their boyfriends with a watch that would keep the crown jewels safe. Most people can tell you who the "slut" in their high school was, regardless of how many decades might have passed since graduation.
Stories of her wanton escapades spread like wildfire through the halls of high school, and students take pleasure in sharing their own richly fabricated details, making the story steamier with each telling.
